Thank you for the interview I like when Rowan tells a story.
What a great story that was!
Love that I found your content man. Thank you
Big thanks for getting this whole set.. tears are rolling I had the strangest thought the other day!
Deserve a down vote for heckling the photographer during death trip baby,, also considering i walked into your shot as another photographer, fux u.. but also.. thank you for recoding it one of last Jeff’s last shows…. ! ❤
Good for you, Buddy! Awesome talent!
Thanks. Love these stories.
The sound really sucks. I have a Gibson 1916 A-4 with a one piece carved maple top. The sound is fantastic beyond words. I seen some of Loyd's early work in Rodger Siminoff's personal collection. I don't think it's all that great.
Curious how the scroll was broken off
My guess is he leaned it up against a wall and it slid
Thanks for this interesting story, pity about the audio quality though. Just a few metres away from that 'background music' source would have made a huge difference.
A few meters from that "background music source" would have been in pitch blackness. Lacking a well lit, soundproof studio at the festival site, the best we could hope for was a spot backstage where there happened to be some enough light to see CJ and the mandolin. We had to squeeze this in between the end of the Po Ramblin' Boys set and the start of the following act. And yeah, they started as we were nearing the end of the interview.
Always a great series, Chris!
Brilliant and humble. Danny talks about legends and inspirations without realizing he's in that category. Thanks for all the music
Flashy, just like Kody!!
Should have a million views.
I could listen to Peter’s stories ALL day long. Thank you !!
Calm down Harry!
Sweet play the heck out of that guitar 🎸
Great looking/sounding guitar. Ernest Tubb also had Thanks on the back of his guitar.
Ahh love seeing this come up. Was a great time mixing these guys and hanging out a bit. They're always a pleasure.
I would LOVE to see you at the Charlotte Bluegrass Festival in Charlotte Michigan. I go every year and hope to see you there soon.
LOVE the Price Sisters! Never miss the chance to see them when they are in the central Ohio area.
Got to share the bill quite a few times when we were still touring the Gypsies outfit. Kody is top notch and a musician’s player through and through.
Actually, that’s Haary Clark on the far left. Harry Walker is a Del tune.
TY!! Electric Larryland was incredible!!
I love how Larry constantly evolves. I've know him for a long time and stagnant is not in his vocabulary.
Great band! Saw them in Galax!
Ground Hog!!!
Love your music!
My favorite band at the festivals
Kody and his banjo player have gotta be two of the most authentic persons on the planet.
Funny to hear him mention the Cleverlys. They remind me of them with the apparel and the way that they wear their hats.
Maddie Denton, what’s not to love 👍 Bluegrass is in safe hands
I've recently just came across Maddie and her bluegrass fiddle talent and I'm a huge fan . I'm glad I found this Brewgrass Conversation with Maddie and I feel like I know her a little better now. I'll be looking for some East Nash Grass music.
An interview about the band's suits. Really?
Man he can Ramble....this guy asked 3 questions in 30 minutes.
I think that was planned or staged to happen that way.
I'm not quite sure what he meant by the idea of the vocals being the thing that makes bluegrass. To me it's the DRIVE of bluegrass that makes it what it is compared to other music. Without the "Drive" you just have a sad country song or a folk song. Example, play Woody Guhrie's "This Land Is Your Land" in the tempo that Woody did and you have a great folk song. But kick it up in tempo and keep the rhythm section solid and you've got a great bluegrass song.
As Peter says, Bill Monroe was always evolving. Bill was always a vocalist first and his music from 1939, when he first joined the Grand Ole Opry, was a lot different than it was in 1946, when he cut the first songs recognized as “bluegrass” music. This Land Is Your Land is interesting because Woody was a big fan of the Original Carter Family. Woody set that song to the melody of the Carter Family song Little Darling Pal Of Mine. Flatt & Scruggs did an instrumental version on their Foggy Mountain Banjo album. It’s the “timing” in bluegrass that provides what you’re calling the drive, not necessarily the tempo. Peter’s background here is so insightful. Every aspiring bluegrass player should listen to this over and over.
@@DubClark "Timing" exactly! Thank you.
Maybe by "Vocals" he either meant or was including "Harmony". While there are many different genres of music that have great harmony, bluegrass has some very distinct arrangements of where people put the 2nd, 3rd and 4th parts. Especially when you get into the family groups or the brother groups that have sibling harmony. And sometimes you get a magical combination of voices that blend well even without a blood relationship...such as Seldom Scene. But I think the "Drive" you're talking about is the one thing that distinquishes bluegrass from every other type of music. A lot of people think Rock and Roll had drive...but really it had BEAT. Hence the name BEATles came from Lennon's fascination with the BEAT of Rock and Roll. Some Country music has drive and some has beat but that's due to the "melting pot" nature of country music. I remember when Alan Jackson tried to do a bluegrass album, using all A-list bluegrass pickers. But instead of them recording what they knew to be good bluegrass, they allowed Jackson's country influence to drag them down to his level of picking. The entire album is them trying to step up and Jackson holding back. The project makes me think of a train with two locomotives, one pulling forward and the other pulling in reverse. What's missing is the drive which makes it a pretty good country album but a really poor bluegrass album. The same was true with Dolly Parton's bluegrass attempt. Tom T. Hall was very proud of his bluegrass album and while it had the drive it needed, he also included drums which didnt' sit well with the bluegrass community. However it produced some good tunes that were adopted by bluegrass artists who performed them just fine without percussion. The ultimate question of "What Makes A Bluegrass Song" has been debated over and over by countless authorities and pickers and fans over the decades and no one has ever been able to establish a solid definition. I've heard the question asked: "If Lawrence Welk played 'Uncle Pen' would it be a bluegrass song or would it be a big band number?" And I think I've heard every answer possible on both sides of the issue. But I think the one thing to consider is not who the performer is or what song is performed, but rather HOW it is done. Example: When the Seldom Scene did "Sweet Baby James" was it a bluegrass song or a folk song. Another example: When the Hillbenders did "TOMMY" was it bluegrass or acoustic Rock? Again, I contend that the answer lies in HOW it was done rather than what or who.
@@DubClark I think TEMPO has a lot to do with the drive. Take Monroe's "With Body and Soul" as an example. It's tempo is slow and although it has been played by countless bluegrass bands over the years, I don't really consider it to be a bluegrass song. It's a great song but just not a bluegrass song. It lacks the bluegrass drive. As did Blue Moon of Kentucky in the original Monroe recording. It wasn't until Elvis recorded it and kicked up the tempo that Monroe Re-recorded and blended the slow start with the uptempo after the opening chorus. That's when the song got drive. Basically, I think you have to have tempo in order to have drive. Timing is the time signature of the song ...as in 3/4 waltz time or 2/4 cut time etc. etc. and while it's important, it has nothing to do with TEMPO. Drive also has a lot to do with the contrast of the down beat and the after beat. Without a strong after beat, you can miss the effect of the tempo and lose the "Drive".
It wasn't written to be a dirge but I can fly pickin bluegrass but I don't like bluegrass versions of This land... first and foremost,IT IS A PROTEST SONG! Honestly, how much protest do you hear in bluegrass songs? I heard a man trying to sing it the other day at a farmers market and you could literally have smoked a cigarette between some of the words of each line(perhaps a little exaggeration😂). It was hard to listen to. Perhaps it is time for some newly written and timely music.
I hope the band stays together forever.They are tight and really have it together.I love their outfits.So many musicians dress like trash these days.
Thank you for this interview. Maddie and East Nash are interesting, highly talented and full of energy. Nice to learn more about her and the band.
Intriguing comments. I've known Rowan since seeing him with Monroe in 1965. He has indeed absorbed some of the best of Monroe's teachings; the Real Deal. I'm sorry the audio is so bad . . . it's barely audible!
Super nice guy.
Lots of folks don't realize that East Nashville was the preferred home site of most of the golden age country stars of the 1940-1960 era. Flatt, Scruggs, Roy Acuff, The Carter family, Kitty Wells, and an endless list of artists lived in E Nash. It latter spread farther east into Hendersonville, and when land prices soared new stars moved to Franklin in W Nash.
Love watching their streamed show every Monday night... it's so much better than rooting for a hometown football team. Makes me remember my crash-diet days down there in that crazy town. GO East Nash Grass!
I can't wait to see East Nash Grass one day! Yall need to come down to S. FL. You can play the Funky Biscuit in Boca, Crazy Uncle Mike's in Boca, Terra Fermata in Stuart, FL. There's a bunch of places in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami you could play too. One day... Also, hope to see yall at some FL bluegrass festivals!
Gavin for Dobro player of the year!!

Just saw these guys at Thomas Point Beach They absolutely killed it especially the late night show in the small tent. Best band out there hands down. Also btw there are exactly zero bad songs on this record. It’s fantastic.
Maddie & that interesting cast of characters have been brightening my Monday nights for quite awhile! Glad to see them ranging farther from home at an interesting variety of festivals! Long may they reign! 😎
You gotta love her!!! So Spirited and so full of energy and it definitely comes out in that great fiddle playing and singing!!!
Jason is the man!!
